Correction: According to wiki now, it says his father is French and his mother is Algerian, so maybe it should say
*French (father)
*Kayble Algerian (mother)
His surname, Grigahcine, is Algerian.
The surname Étienne is French, he probably has some French ancestry possibly, so maybe French should be added to the tags and his ethnicity.
Étienne is a name, not a surname.

He’s still Algerian (Kayble probably), that country was colonized by France for a little while and had people coming back and forth from France, so it is possible that’s where the French name comes from. Maybe one of his parents had some French ancestry as well.
Étienne is French for Stephan, Steven, Stephen, Stefano, Esteban etc
It can be a surname but I think it’s only a name is this case. He curiously has three names but only one is Arabic.
@andrew Algeria is a pretty diverse country
I guess Ben Affleck might have Hungarian ancestry then.
@madman really? I thought he was African
